I don’t know how I left this post pending in draft. While starting another project, I was searching for this post and found it was in Draft. In Jan 2018, when I was done with #WPMeta Website, I drafted this one.
Here are some resources I used to code the #WPMeta Website.
1. Underscores (_s) – Starter theme
Underscores is a starter theme with all the latest standards of the WordPress system. Components provide the choice of multiple structures.
2. Coolors – Color Scheme Generator
Not being a designer, I have bad taste in colour combinations. Last time I was coding a theme, I used Kuler by Adobe — pretty complicated to use. Coolors.co is way easier compared to Kuler.
3. Mixfont – Font Combination Generator
Font combination is another UI area where I lack a lot. Mixfont is easy to use; test multiple Google fonts together.
4. Fontello – Icon Fonts Generator
Fontello is an open-source icon fonts generator. Remember the moment when you load the Font Awesome library just for two icons? You are wasting your and your users’ bandwidth. Just select your desired icons and build.
Do let me know what tools you like to use for your custom theme development.
